REVIEW –“ iPhone Application for Tennis Players Who Seek to Better Understand Their Games”
Serious tennis players have probably wondered when an application would come along that would genuinely give them insights into the state of their games.
Such players may want to track a history of their matches, study results (perhaps see how they have fared against a particular player, etc.), and identify trends, streaks, and other indicators. Through statistics that reveal whether they have been able to close out matches (after initially being ahead), or successfully win tie-breaks, or escape with victory (after initially struggling), players can zero in on their strengths and weaknesses.
Such an application now exists: My Tennis Buddy (MTB), from Opus Mobile Technologies performs all of these tasks and more – for just $3.99.
It stores match and player information with an attention to detail real players will appreciate. For example, scoring rules support: number of sets (1,3, or 5), number of games (3 – 10), match tie-breaker settings, etc.
Match details can be readily viewed, changed, or emailed at any later date. And, the statistics it mines from match history are amazing. Detailed or summary stats offer a great viewport into what’s happening in your game. The “Comeback” and “Finishing” power indicators it calculates are particularly telling.

DEVELOPERS NOTES
“Truly know your tennis game”
My Tennis Buddy (MTB) puts at your fingertips a powerful tool for monitoring/analyzing match results and understanding better your game. Students, coaches, parents, and tennis fans can compute pertinent match statistics for a given player, analyze the player’s strength indicators, and easily view all recorded matches. These features, presented in a simple and intuitive style, give you indispensible insights that will propel you to a whole new level of proficiency in your game.
There is more to the game than simply hitting the ball. To be successful, a player requires technique, strategy, and good mental and physical conditioning. It’s quite difficult to assess these attributes and truly know your game through a single match. Long-term statistical match data is required to extract key indicators, like a player’s ability to comeback from the brink of defeat to land a great win (comeback power), a player’s ability to conclude a match (finishing power) or to win a tie-break (tie-break success rate). MTB highlights this invaluable information so that you can readily identify weaknesses and make the corrective actions that will spawn major breakthroughs in your game.
User friendly and indispensable, MyTennisBuddy is the most compelling choice when it comes to tracking your matches and is a tennis buddy you can count on!
